The family   These days it is not common to find large families and I for one did not think I would have one this large, but every one of them is a joy and a blessing.  I have written a book about our adventures in fostering and adopting.  It is available at www.booksurge.com and is called Is Eight Enough (God knows and He aint telling)  My other passion! I have a very large family! I have adopted 8 children from abusive situations including 3 sets of twins.  They joined my grown up 4 children to make the dozen! No it is not cheaper! Christmas is amazing and family dinners can include at least 2 grown up children and a couple of grandchildren!  Yes thank the Lord I can cook!
